SOCIAL JUSTICE

We believe that as a church we have the privilege of expressing God’s heart by caring for the vulnerable in our community and city. This includes orphans, widows and foreigners as well as people who for other reasons are struggling to earn an income or get a good education.

“For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.”Deuteronomy 10:17-18

OUR COMMUNITY

We would love to say as in Acts 4:34 that there is ‘not a needy person’ amongst us. Caring for people in our community could include paying for education, assistance to start a business or helping people through temporary difficulties. If you would like to be part of this you can give to our alms account. It may be that you have identified a specific person that you would like to help. As described in the same passage in Acts, it is often wise to administer this giving through the elders so that all parties can be protected and honoured.

OUR CITY

Members of our church are involved in caring for various groups in our city including those seeking skills in order to become economically active, scholars from disadvantaged areas, abused women and children, orphans, and people living or working on the street. Others are involved in fighting for justice and rights to education at a national level. Some of these projects are looking for volunteers and others require funding or specific skills.
